Drained the oil and dropped the lower pan on Port engine to replace a leaky gasket. Now looking like it was the upper pan where meets block or front cover draining down onto a pan bolt. Either way, now's a chance to inspect the internals after first 100 hours on it.
Wife took up Yoga a couple years back and bought this nice $40 Peloton mat that she never used. So told her I was going to give Yoga a try.. Hell with Yoga, and the mat sucks too.. Switching back to cardboard..
Found half of the oil level sensor laying in the pan. Couldn't take the shakes.. Glad I never connected those. Pickup looks clean, all the bolts still in the baffle. So far so good.
Think I'll run a scope up the bores and pistons to see how they look from bottom, but beside the Callies throws looking a little dull, no hot spots jumping out at me..
Ya guys think I should polish the crank? Certainly deserves it... 1 BAD MOFO
I keep trying to increase the stroke. Guessing it takes more than 6,000R's to make those rods stretch very much..
At PRI, the Callies crew said zero failures reported on the Ultra B's. Then 10 minutes later Jeremy told me that one broke, as he's was leaning on a stroked Winburg unit.. My money is on these right here as the undisputed heavyweight camp of the bottom ends.. Counting the FD balancer, and 84lbs of flywheel, there is close to 240lbs rotating mass, spinning 6k, and the smoothest engine ya likely every feel when all wound up.
